Have you ever made homemade slime before? It’s actually quite fun to do! If your kids love unicorns and they love slime, then they will absolutely love this unicorn slime. This unicorn slime can be adapted to your favorite colors too! We picked our favorite colors of a unicorn being – pink, blue and gold. But you could make it rainbow colored or add purple or green too! When you’re done making it, just twist the colors together and you can turn it into unicorn poop! (Silly we know but the kids will get a kick out of it!).

Unicorn Slime – an easy slime recipe!

Watch the full tutorial video here before you get started!

This unicorn slime is made up of 3 different colors of glitter slime. This method for making glitter slime is by far the easiest and it can be changed to make any color! So feel free to adapt and make this slime whatever unicorn colors you like the best.

Safety Tips: Adults only should make the slime and handle all chemicals. Do not substitute any ingredients in our slime recipes. If you have sensitive skin, wear gloves while playing with the slime. Always wash hands before and after use. If you notice any skin irritation discontinue use immediately. See the bottom of the post for more safety precautions before making the slime.

Once you have made your colored glitter slime you can place them together side by side to blend them together.

You can have fun playing with your slime on its own, include it in a party favor for a unicorn party, or twist the colors together to make unicorn poop!

So now on to make this amazing glittery unicorn slime!

Ingredients Needed to Make Unicorn Slime

Repeat each of the below for each color (you’ll need to make 3 batches of the glitter slime to form your unicorn slime)

Per batch:

1 bottle of Elmer’s glitter glue (6 oz) – we used pink, yellow, and blue and repeated the recipe 3 times. Note: we made this with Elmer’s glitter glue. Do not substitute with other glue as the make-up may not be the same and the recipe may not work

Pink, Gold, and Blue Glitter – use lots of glitter to get the same shiny effect. We like this brand of glitter.

1/2 teaspoon of Baking Soda

1½ TBSP of Contact lens solution. **Important: your brand of contact lens solution must have boric acid and sodium borate in the ingredient list. This is what interacts with the glue to form the slime.

Optional: add 2 Tablespoons of water to your glue if you’d like a stretchier slime

Slime Recipe to make Unicorn Slime

1. Get a bowl to mix your slime ingredients in.

2. Pour your entire 6 oz Elmer’s Glitter glue into the bowl.

3. Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and mix in thoroughly. Also add 2 TBSP or more of water here (up to 1/4 cup) if you want a stretchier slime.

4. Now add your glitter in and continue to mix.

5. Slowly add in your contact lens solution (reminder: your contact lens solution should contain boric acid and sodium borate or your slime will not form). Add it in slowly and mix if possible so that you can adjust and ensure you do not add too much.

6. Now mix until your slime forms and begins to harden. Take it out and knead, knead, knead. You may be surprised how much you need to knead to really make the slime form. If it’s not the desirable consistency keep kneading. If you find it to still be too sticky, add a little bit of lotion or baby oil to your hands.

Now you’re done and you can play! Mix the colors together or play with them separately.

Slime Safety & Precautions

Note: Making slime is a science experiment and safety precautions should still be made when creating slime. By making this slime, you agree to our site terms which you can read here.

Slime should not be placed in the mouth. Always wash hands before and after playing with the slime.

If you notice any skin irritation, discontinue use immediately. If you have sensitive skin, wear gloves while making and playing with the slime.

Slime is a science experiment and should be made and played with in moderation. Do not allow children to make their own slime and do not play with slime for an extended period of time.

Unicorn Slime

Ingredients

1 bottle of Elmer's glitter glue6 oz - we used pink, yellow, and blue and repeated the recipe 3 times. Note: we made this with Elmer's glitter glue. Do not substitute with other glue as the make-up may not be the same and the recipe may not work

1½ TBSP of Contact lens solution. **Important: your brand of contact lens solution must have boric acid in the ingredient list. This is what interacts with the glue to form the slime.

Optional: Add 2 TBSP of water to the glue if you'd like a stretchier slime.

Instructions

Get a bowl to mix your slime ingredients in.

Pour your entire 6 oz Elmer's Glitter glue into the bowl.

Add your baking soda and mix in thoroughly.

Now add your glitter in and continue to mix.

Slowly add in your contact lens solution (reminder: your contact lens solution should contain boric acid or your slime will not form). Add it in slowly and mix if possible so that you can adjust and ensure you do not add too much.

Now mix until your slime forms and begins to harden. Take it out and knead, knead, knead. You may be surprised how much you need to knead to really make the slime form. If it's not the desirable consistency keep kneading. If you find it to still be too sticky, add a little bit of lotion or baby oil to your hands.

Have you tried making this slime with half a bottle of the Elmer’s glitter glue (for each color)? If so, did it turn out ok? Did you cut the other ingredients in half too?
Looking forward to making this for my daughter’s Bday party but want to spread out the supplies as much as possible!

Adding the water makes it more stretchy so you can make the recipe without the water but the slime won’t be as stretchy. If it’s too wet usually this means you need to knead it more or add a little more contact solution (just 1/2 tsp at a time). Hope that helps!

To make the slime stretchier, we like to add water. Also make sure you add in the contact lens solution really slowly. The less you add, the better it will be as it makes it harder and not as stretchy. Hope that helps!

Janice the contact lens solution is what turns the glue into slime. Make sure yours has sodium borate and boric acid in it. If it’s still too runny, add a little more in a teaspoon at a time. Too much and it may become too stiff.
